ZK-CAI (c/n 1006) was first registered to Neil Cribb of Palmerston North on 4/5/61 so I guess it also may have been built by Aerocraft. It was on line with the Palmerston North Flying School before being sold to F P Bracefield of Christchurch, G A Vodane of Hamilton on 26/9/69 and then to the Egmont Chapter of the AACA on 18/2/70.
It then had a series of owners in the Taranaki area: Cliff Cory, the CAI Group from 10/12/70, and finally Doug Farquhar & Arnie Broadmore from 12/4/76. It hit a fence on takeoff at Rotowaro on 28/10/78 (pilot - Doug Farquhar) and was not rebuilt. Ownership transferred solely to Doug Farquhar of Waitara on 23/6/89 (for intended rebuild?) and it was finally cancelled on 28/8/97.
